A Friend Has Lost Everything, Checked Into a Men’s Shelter…
This post is very close to my heart… It pains me to write it, as it affects a friend of mine directly, that refuses help, as I will illustrate. I have a friend I got a call from this week. He has lost his job, his apartment, much of his clothing, his parents (family) lives […]
Do You Live In a Constitution Free Zone
I sure don’t. Wondering what a “Constitution Free Zone” is? So was I until about an hour ago. A Constitution Free Zone is the area “within “100-miles of the US land and coastal borders.” Airports are also in these zones, regardless of their geographic location.

One Suburban Apartment Preppers Plan
Taken from a survival forum and copied to a word document late last year for my own review going forward: Now some people live in apartments like myself, I figured we needed a thread for suggestions for folks like myself.

Les Stroud – Living Off the Grid Video
Many of you have no doubt seen this video in the past. It is the one hour documentary that Les Stroud recorded about buying a piece of property and living off the grid potentially simplifying life. That, however is not the reason I am posting this video. My friend Doug actually gave me the idea […]

Suburban and Urban Survival at TheSurvivalPodcast.com
So, on my way back from camping today, I had the opportunity to catch up on some of Jack Spirko’s, The Survival Podcast Episodes. The two that happened to be in my queue for listening were a two part series on Urban and Suburban Homesteading, and Urban and Suburban Security. Both shows were excellent. I […]
